Village form & character

Village form and character

The tasks for this group include:

Assembling base-map data
Analysis of landscape character and urban form
Identifying development options
Producing design guidance for incorporation in the Plan

This group will be responsible for producing maps, plans and some of the material for consultation events. An interest in the history and development of the village is important.
